Synchronizing recording with
playback (Digital Synchronized
Recording)
When an external digital device such as a
CD/MD/DAT player is connected to the
recorder, you can start recording
synchronously with playback on the external
device (Digital Synchronized Recording).
1
Connect the audio output jacks of the
external digital equipment to the LINE IN
(OPT) jack of the recorder using an
optional optical digital cable.
2
Set the INPUT switch to the “LINE”
position.
3 While the recorder is stopped, press and
hold the
/MENU button until the menu
is displayed.
4
Press the  FF/  and  FR/  buttons
to select “SYNC REC” (synchronized
recording), and press the
 PLAY/
ENTER button.
The “SYNC REC” display appears.
Notes
When a different digital signal is input, it is recorded
as a new track since different signals cannot be
saved in a track.
During digital recording, the counter display might
show approximately one second later than the
actual recording.
During digital recording from a CD/MD/DAT player,
the recorder may fail in synchronized recording
mode depending on the type of source data or
operations attempted.
We cannot guarantee the operation of all types of
CD/MD/DAT players. Some external devices you
use may not operate properly.
When the remaining recordable time is less than 10
seconds, you may not be able to use synchronized
recording function.
When you are recording sound as the 99th track in
a folder, the digital synchronized recording does not
work and recording continues as the 99th track in
the folder. 
